I love the idea of poetry
It’s something I understand
The lines just flow right through me
Most seem to rhyme
That’s my usual style
Depends on my mood
This one for example
It’s just plain words
Nothing holds it back
I don’t write about poetry
Except when it suits me
Guess I’m feeling it now
My others are more emotional
Lines written to express
Not everyone agrees though
I think it’s art
Not always pretty
Yet beautiful in it’s own way
It’s like a stairway to your heart
Leading them down a path
They don’t always match
Some stairs are steep
Pushing you right through
The point is made clear
Others are gradual
Allowing more freedom
Guiding you there
They’re all the same though
At least in what matters
They have a purpose
Everything does
Poetry is no different
Brings out the inside
See this poem is plain
Not much to think about
Still means something though
People’s styles are different
Usually one is favoured
I know I love to rhyme
Obviously this one isn’t the case
Just didn’t fit the words
Wanted to create uniqueness
I like when things flow
Poetry gives that freedom
Stories have too many rules
I can write what I want
No one else matters
It doesn’t even have to make sense
Of course it probably should
If you want it to mean something
I always do
Poetry is rhythm
But no rules apply
You can choose how it’s made
This is a staircase
Yet where does it lead
Does it really matter
There is point in all this
That poetry is expression
No one else decides
You don’t have to like it
Still mine all the same
Always apart of me
I love poetry
As I’ve already explained
And now you know why
